Hello, @danilodene
You can easily delete folders using s3cmd from your PC. s3cmd is a popular cross-platform command-line tool for managing S3 and S3-compatible object stores.
You can check our tutorial for configuring s3cmd:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/resources/s3cmd/
Once s3cmd is configured you can use the following command to delete a folder:
s3cmd del s3://BUCKET/OBJECT
e.g
s3cmd del -r s3://sammy-test/TestFolder
If this is successfull the output should be:
delete: 's3://sammy-test/TestFolder/'
Hope this helps!

Same issue here, is this going to be fixed because I can not delete my folders.
I also have filezilla pro connected to my space, this also fails to delete folders.
I also tried s3 for windows to find it is only a trial version so removed it immediately.
Can we have a better long term solution or maybe you can just fix the issue please before we exceed the 250gb and incur additional charges for storing data we are unable to remove.

The error appears when I try to delete a folder on web interface. I deleted item by item, after 1.000 items deleted, I get deleted the folder without error
Hello, @danilodene
Could you please let me know if you’re deleting the folder manually from the DigitalOcean control panel or using an API request?
